This hasn't been an issue for me since I was in high school and had no money.

Older cars when AC was much more of an option (even in the South) had vent windows (or quarter glass to some) which was great for directing fresh air over them. Some trucks and cars also had a vent you could pull open that directed air to your legs. You can almost live in a car with no AC at highway speeds but get stuck in a traffic jam on the interstate and it is pure suffering.

Cigarette lighter works?
1. $5 cigarette lighter outlet converter
2.. small fan (has to be a small low voltage fan)
3. Ice bucket
Tape a piece of cardboard or towel such that the fan draws its air from the ice bucket. It’ll blow cold air onto you
If you want to scale it up:
1. Home Depot bucket with cover
2. 1 gallon jug of water (frozen)
3. Small fan
Cut holes in the bucket such that the fan blows into the bucket and vents out into the cabin of the car

I simply won't use that company and driver again.
Competition helps the consumer.

I had a 53 Chevy truck that wasn't bad at all in the summer the way the vents were located. Older houses used to be set up the same way.

My son lives in New Mexico and will not spend the money to fix the a/c in his car- nuts

Having no AC is easier when you’re driving country roads going 55 or so. Sitting in traffic in LA without AC is miserable.

My first 2 cars had no A/C
Of course, both had front quarter glass windows that you could use to get air flowing inside, but when you’re stuck in traffic, don’t kid yourself, it was still hot.

Short haircut, windows rolled down, sweat your arse off. I had to deal with this with a clunker that I drove in college. It beat a bicycle.

best way is 4-55
roll down all 4 windows and stay above 55 mph

In my last 4x4, do what you're doing and remove the drainplugs in the floor.
Even on a hot hot day, I would occasionally take it over the office's new luxury sedan
We would occasionally buy a 100lbs of ice blocks and put them on the floor. But that was mainly so no matter where you reached for a drink, it was on ice

Take the doors off. Take the back windows out. Drop the top.

I'd probably get some of those gel freeze packs and put them in my pants while driving around.
Back in college I was working for Dominos when my ac went out one summer. I actually did put gel packs down the back of my shirt to keep cool.
I thought my compressor was shot and knew I could not afford to get it fixed so I went two miserable months delivery hot pizza in a hot truck all day in BR summer. When a got a better paying job in August I got my ac fixed and it turns out it was just a $25.00 pressure switch.
